  1. Re:All in one? on Sony Ericsson Announces First Walkman Phone · · Score: 1
    How many "all on one" devices do consumers really need?

    Only one.... but a good one!

  2. Re:I have never seen audio before... POSSIBLE! on Audio Processing on Your Graphics Card? · · Score: 1
    A long time ago when I was still in school, we had a ASM class.... in one of my projects, I used the video memory to store calculation data. The trick was to set the pointer to the adress of the video memory.

    Since the app runned in DOS, I still had 7 pages of video memory to play around with. Those pages were only used for Extended and VESA initialisation and animation

    It was possible to "view" this data by assigning the active page to one that was used to store data... but you only got garbage on screen... I think that the same would happen if you tryed to "view" the sound :)

  3. Endorsement on The Technology Hype Cycle · · Score: 1

    The majority of people are followers... the key is to get endorsement to hype the "cool factor". Once you have the "cool factor", the followers will line-up!

  4. Re:Greatest Anime Film? on The Giants of Anime are Coming · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I'd say Ghost in the Shell! A lot of people are going to say Spirited Away because on the exposure it got.

  5. Re:Sorry, your product is banned here. on The Swiss Army Knife of USB Drives · · Score: 1

    Even without a blade, your "Swiss Army Knife" would not pass security... ever tried to pass a metal nail file, a nail-clipper, or even small scisors? You'd have to get a "knife" without any pointy, metally, things in it... the only thing that would pass would be the USB drive!

  6. Re:Rotors oscillating on Human-powered Helicopter Fails to Lift Off · · Score: 1

    By calculating the harmonics in the lenght of the rotors, and the efficient speed that they need to turn, they could minimise the effect of bouncing while the rotors are overlaping....

  7. Re:What a shame on Human-powered Helicopter Fails to Lift Off · · Score: 1

    From the image, it's hard to say, but I think that they are using 2 rotors in oposition in order to counter the rotation effect and give lift. a few designs of "flying robots" use this design so no tail rotor is needed.

  8. Re:Uh oh on FTC Bars Popup Backdoor Ads · · Score: 1

    I'd say, Install a Bonzie Buddy... it'll protect your IP while giving you a lot of free entertainment!

  9. Re:It could be worse... on New Ring Around Saturn · · Score: 1

    [-- Insert Various Probing Jokes Here --]

  10. Re:An improvement on Microsoft has Delayed SP2, Again · · Score: 1
    3 out of 5 machines failed to come back up

    Looks like they still have to take care of the 2 remaining machines ;)

  11. Re:Girls claim Jupiter on Lawyers In Space... · · Score: 1

    As long as Big Bubba doesnt claim Uranus!

  12. Re:And they'll still have braille on the buttons.. on ATM Iris Recognition Coming Soon · · Score: 1, Funny

    They'll scan the eyes of the guiding dog ;)

  13. Re:"Free" WiFi access is everywhere. on Buy Broadband From Your Neighbor · · Score: 1

    Remember the minivan of terrorists in "Back to the Future".... I just saw them giving away WiFi access points to people! They were screaming insanities that sounded like: "W3 0wn3 J00!"

  14. In Canada? on U.S. National Do-Not-Call Registry On the Way? · · Score: 1

    Anyone know if something like this is in place in Canada? I would be ready to get out of my igloo and get on the list anytime!

  15. Waiting for the Worms on Feds Working to Stop Worms · · Score: 2, Funny
    Sitting in a bunker here behind my wall
    Waiting for the worms to come
    In perfect isolation here behind my wall

    --Pink Floyd

    How appropriate... :)

  16. Re:on trains next? on Bell Canada Turns Payphones into Public Hotspots · · Score: 1

    It would give a new sence to the word wardriving!

  17. Pringles relay.... on Bell Canada Turns Payphones into Public Hotspots · · Score: 1

    How long till someone builds a Pringles relay from the train station to his house?
